Good idea by the way... :-)

After having fiddled around with your example a bit and comparing the 
TextEdit with a TextLabel behaviour, I had the idea that a "\n" newline 
actually is interpreted as "new paragraph" which would mean "leave a 
blank line". The "\n" I guess produces a Chr$(10) because this shows the 
same effect.

So you would need a "make a new line only but stay in the paragraph" 
(like Shift-Return in a word processor for instance).

There should be a code for that.

Now I have a question: This TextEdit should be able to accept 
formatting, but I didn't find out how. I tried to make the dates bold, 
how would I achieve that? Somewhere I have used an object that is able 
to interpret simple HTML codes, but I don't remember its name or where I 
got it from (it's like a TextLabel with editing). Do you know what I mean?
